VANCOUVER – David Edgar’s first Vancouver Whitecaps season was over before it had really begun and it’s left him at something of an unfamiliar loose end as the Christmas period approaches.
The Canadian international came to MLS in July in preseason shape, having just wrapped up a season on loan with English League One side Sheffield United. It took Edgar a few weeks to get up to speed before going on to make eight league appearances for the Whitecaps this season, but with Vancouver failing to make the playoffs, his year came to an early end.
After 10 seasons as a pro in England, having the winter months off is a strange feeling for Edgar.
